INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the StreamPunch Ultra. It is a versatile production system that will enable you to punch documents for a variety of binding styles by means of a  simple die change. It has also been designed for easy operation.
The StreamPunch Ultra is an innovative solution for punching paper and offers the following design features:

• Quick-change die sets that can be interchanged without any tools.
• All StreamPunch Ultra die sets include an Identification Label providing the user with the hole pattern and name.
• Convenient storage area for two extra Die Sets.

Duty Cycle and Product Positioning
The GBC StreamPunch Ultra provides a flexible, cost effective punching solution for light to medium level punching production environments. It is designed for production  print users that typically punch their documents at an average of 20-30% of their overall workflow. For customers that run continuous punching for long runs of over 4 hours, performance may vary or degrade due to a wide range of media weights and environmental conditions that can occur.
AMPV – Nominal 600,000 average monthly print volume (A4/letter), assuming volume is split 50/50 between punch and bypass (300,000 punch and 300,000 bypass).
Maximum Recommended Monthly Volume – The maximum recommended monthly punch volume should NOT exceed 400,000.
Maximum Punch Duty Cycle – In addition to the aforementioned conditions, no more than 2 sheets of 300gsm per 5 sheets of 75gsm should be punched. The heaviest paper  stocks are typically used as only the front and back covers of the bound book application.

Operating Die Set Supplies
Dies are considered consumables and when worn, must be replaced since sharpening is not possible.
Each die set has a 90-day warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty is void if the die is used beyond its specifications.
Punch die life will be maximized if oiled every 100,000 punch cycles (see Diesel Service for details)
Die sets have an expected use life of 750,000 punches using 20 lb/75 gem paper. This is a minimum life expectation only. Die life is NOT guaranteed due to a wide range of  media weights and environmental conditions that the dies may endure. If you are going to be punching extended runs that exceed the die use life, it is strongly recommended  that you have sufficient numbers of the appropriate die sets on hand to continue with minimal downtime.

QUICK START GUIDE

StreamPunch Ultra must be connected to AC power to enable any feature of the machine. Below are three modes of operation of StreamPunch Ultra.

1. Bypass Mode:
   This operation will allow paper to pass through the StreamPunch Ultra without being punched.
   This is the default mode of operation for StreamPunch Ultra.
   Make sure the Punch Icon is not selected in the printer’s User Interface.

2. Single Punch Mode:
   This operation will punch the trail edge of all sheets that pass through the StreamPunch Ultra.
   Step 1: A properly configured die set must be inserted before running punch mode. See section 4.A for details on Die set changes and follow the labels on the die set for configuration.
   Step 2: Before starting a print job select the Punch (Single Punch) icon to enable punching.
   StreamPunch Ultra will now function in Single Punch mode.

3. Double Punch Mode:

DIE SET USER MANUAL

The die sets for the StreamPunch Ultra are intended to work with multiple paper sizes and sheet feed directions.
In order to accommodate different sheet sizes this die set must be configured to the correct number of punching pins and the die stop must be set to the proper position.  The die label contains information on the common paper punching sizes, for the uncommon sizes please refer to Table 1.

Glossary
LEF- Long Edge Feed- Indicates that the paper is being fed through the machine so that the longer side of the sheet will be punched.
SEF- Short Edge Feed- Indicates that the paper is being fed through the machine so that the shorter side of the sheet will be punched.
Statement (STMT) Paper- 8.5″ X 5.5″ Legal Paper- 8.5″ X 14″ Ledger Paper- 11″ X 17″

Pin Numbering
Die punching pins are numbered sequentially starting from the handle end. Figure 8.1 shows a 47 hole coil die (404757) as an example. All square and round hole die sets follow the same pin numbering format.

To remove punch pins from the StreamPunch Ultra first turn the two Quarter Turn Fasteners counter clockwise to release the pressure bar.
Remove the pressure bar and set aside.

Lift up and remove the desired pins according to Table 8.1. Store pins in the pin storage tray inside front door of machine making sure pins cannot be dropped, damaged or lost while removed.

Replace the pressure bar by lining up dowel pin holes with exposed dowel pins. Hold pressure bar so that it is seats completely over dowel pins and then rotate Quarter Turn  Fasteners clockwise until a click is felt to lock pressure bar in position.
Important! Make sure pressure bar is attached and both Quarter Turn Fasteners are in the locked position prior to inserting the die set into the machine or serious damage  can occur to both the machine and die set.

Pin Addition
The process for adding punch pins is the same as pin removal except that pins are added and not removed once the pressure bar is off.
When replacing punch pins make certain that the pins are completely seated against the pin retainer prior to reattaching the pressure bar.

Die Stop Position
On some of the StreamPunch Ultra die sets there is an adjustable die stop which is used to re-center the die set for certain sheet sizes, as shown in Figure 8.7. For die sets  without a die stop knob there is no die stop position adjustment necessary.
For units with a die stop knob, the die stop must be set to the correct position or the punched holes will not be centered on the sheet. The common paper sizes are shown on the die stop handle label below the die stop knob, for the uncommon paper sizes please refer to Table 8.2. Position A is when the arrow on the die stop knob points down  towards the handle and lines up with the lower arrow on the die stop handle label. Position B is when the arrow on the die stop knob points to the side and lines up with the  side arrow on the die stop handle label. (See Figure 8.7)
To change the die stop position first remove the die from the machine and place on a flat stable surface. While holding the die in a stable position push down on the die stop  knob until the knob is free to rotate.
Then turn the knob until the arrow on the knob lines up with the desired arrow on the die stop handle label. Once the arrows line up, release the die stop knob making sure  that the metal die stop on the bottom fully seats against the die plate.

Die Set Maintenance
The StreamPunch Ultra die set must be periodically oiled and greased to maintain proper functionality and prevent premature failure of the die set. The die set should be  oiled and inspected every 100K cycles.
Before lubricating the die, remove all visible paper dust present, preferably using compressed air or a clean dry cloth if compressed air is not available. If compressed air is  available, use it to clean out the area between the top and bottoms plates. Do not used a cloth to clean this area.

To lubricate die set pins that do not have felt pads:

1. Depress the die set so that the pins protrude from the bottom plate.
2. Apply a drop of high quality machine oil to the end of each pin.
3. Wipe clean, leaving a light coat of oil on them.

To lubricate die set pins that have felt pads:

1. Lubricate with a high quality machine oil.
2. Apply oil lightly along the length of the pad [1], but do not over saturate.
3. Do not use spray lubricants because they tend to dry up quickly and leave a sticky residue.

Oil from the die may blemish the first few punched sheets after oil has been applied. Run test punched copies until clean copies can be made.

Die Set Shoulder Bolts
The die set shoulder bolts must be checked and lubricated as necessary every 200K cycles. If the grease is missing from the springs or shoulder bolts [2] then additional grease must be applied.

1. Lubricate with a high quality Teflon-based grease.
2. Apply grease to shoulder bolts and springs [2]
3. Wipe up any excess grease.

End of Die Life
If a die set is at the end of its life it will tend to cause paper jams due to hanging paper chips. This is a result of die plate wear and not pin wear, which cannot be corrected.  When this occurs, the die set must be replaced with a new one. Attempting to replace or sharpen pins will not correct the issue since the wear is in the plates and therefore is  not recommended.

StreamPunch Ultra Die Sets
The StreamPunch Ultra uses a variety of easily interchangeable die sets that allow you to punch documents in line for several different binding styles. By selecting the appropriate die set, you can use your StreamPunch Ultra to punch documents in any of the following binding styles.
Dura Glide HDTM die sets are shown in bold where available.

Die Set Description

RICOH Part Number

• When the Plastic Comb binding die is used in the 21 hole configuration on A4 width paper (297mm), there is the potential for the outer edge of holes 1 and 21 to be torn. The theoretical paper edge should be 1.62mm from the edge of the sheet. This event is dependent on paper type, paper width and hole alignment optimization. To avoid this issue, it is recommended to use a 20 hole configuration instead. 20 hole comb binding supplies are commonly available from GBC and other manufacturers and are considered more optimal than the 21 hole configuration.
